Used 2009 Audi A3 2.0T quattro 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A) Consumer Reviews
Great car
Bought '09 A3 quattro s-line with DSG. Options not chosen are sport package and audio package. Too much money for 6-disc and sport sport package includes things I do not want to pay for. Great car, but 6-disk should come standard for $40K. Quattro is seamless. Performance is very good but so far gas mileage is not what I expected - but only have 5500K so far. Hope it gets better with time. Quality of materials is good but fear that paint is not up to Canadian winters (or summers). Already have chips and scratches. No USB connections.
3rd audi
Went to my local dealer and drove a 2009 A3 2.0 quattro with bluetooth, open sky, and satellite radio. Even though I thought I wanted a manual again I got such a good deal plus really wanting quattro I bought the 09. The DSG transmission is growing on me. I have always maintained my Audi's and never had any reliability issues other than normal wear and tear items. The A3 is well built and is versatile. It is a perfect car for running errands in town but also does well on longer trips.

Dream Drivetrain Finally Available
I've had my eyes on this car since it first made it to the US for the 2006 model year, but was always frustrated by the lack of availability of the 2.0T with quattro. I was looking for a great car to downsize and go more fuel-efficient without having to sacrifice. When I found out that the 2.0T was going to be available with quattro for 2009, I placed an order in June and have had my car for 2 months now. Couldn't love it more. It is a blast to drive and makes you want to drive more. The engine is peppy and very refined for a 4-cylinder turbo. The handling is firm and sporty. The ride is remarkably composed for a small car and firmly planted. Oh, and it looks great inside and out.
First import for my garage
Coming from a Chevy-only-world I could not be any happier. Power, style, handling, it's all there in spades. The combination of redesigned 2.0T-TFSI, DSG transmission and Haldex AWD is amazing. It is so fun to drive I find myself taking the long-way home almost every day. And the hatch makes it extremely practical. My dog loves cruising around, grinning at everyone through the back window. And the folding back seats have made room for a new grill, small patio set and almost everything I need to haul. On top of all this the A3 is top-rated for safety and sips so little gas I have no concerns with non-stop spirited driving.
Great used car if you like working on cars
Very comfortable, practical, fast, and good looking car for the money. Through my experience (1.5 years ownership, 30k km @ 190k) this car has had some issues come up but I was easily able to fix myself, PCV valve replacement ($40), throttle body replacement ($110), new ignition coils ($90), door lock actuator ($40), door harness wiring breaks (solder), a new high pressure fuel pump ($200), and keeping up with regular maintenance. None of the issues took more than a couple hours with the help of youtube to fix and you can buy virtually any high quality part from rockauto for cheap, which has saved me thousands. It is also know to consume oil and get some rust on the front fenders. If you aren't comfortable working on your own car, this would definitely be a money pit at higher milages. But other than the repairs I've had to make, this car has been perfect in terms of power (can easily get it tuned with no additional hardware), comfort, fuel economy, practicality, and features especially for the price they are today. The quattro, along with some good winter tires makes an extremely reliable winter car too. As long as you keep up with the maintenance and are willing to work on your own car, it will easily last over 250k km.
